Bug#859012: maven-debian-helper: unnecessarily gendered pronoun in prompt

[Tom Marble]

Package: maven-debian-helper
Version: 2.1.3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

In this source file you will find a prompt...

http://sources.debian.net/src/maven-debian-helper/2.1.3/maven-packager-utils/src/main/java/org/debian/maven/packager/GenerateDebianFilesMojo.java/?hl=249#L249

... which includes the substring "please enter his name". In 2017
we can do better to help Debian be more inclusive. What's more
we don't know if there is only one copyright holder.

Proposed fix: "please enter their name(s)"

Respectfully,

--Tom
